To be Published by Broadway Books 

 

 

(New York, NY) Broadway Books, a division of the Doubleday Broadway Publishing Group of

Albom’s Tuesdays with Morrie (October 23, 2007; ISBN 978-0-7679-0592-3; $13.95; Trade Paperback), 

the best-selling memoir of all time. 

 

The 10th anniversary edition will include a new Afterword by Albom in which he reflects anew on the 

life lessons he learned from his beloved college professor, Morrie Schwartz, whose wisdom irrevocably 

changed his life as well as the lives of millions of readers. 

 

Originally published by Doubleday in 1997 with a first printing of 20,000 copies, Tuesdays with Morrie 

today has sold nearly 10 million copies in print in the U.S. alone, and there are more than 14 million copies 

in print worldwide. A perennial New York Times best-seller, the book has been sold in forty international 

territories and translated into forty-one languages. 

 

In America, the book has seeped into the fabric of our culture. It has become a fixture on university and 

high school curricula, has been taught to entire incoming freshmen classes, and read by entire cities. It has 

been mentioned in countless sermons and eulogies, funerals and weddings, as well as on television shows 

such as Jeopardy and the Gilmore Girls. Most importantly, it has exerted a profound impact on a

myriad of people from all walks of life by inspiring them to re-unite with loved ones, rekindle an 

appreciation of their teachers and mentors, and transform their lives by re-examining their assumptions 

about the meaning of love, family, marriage, money, aging, and death. 

 

The made-for-television movie version of Tuesdays with Morrie, a Harpo production, aired on ABC in 

December, 1999. The film garnered four Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Made for Television 

Movie, Outstanding Supporting Actor (Hank Azaria), and Outstanding Actor for Jack Lemmon, who called 

his portrayal of Morrie Schwartz “the most satisfying role of my life.” 

 

Originally an off-Broadway production in New York, the play adaptation of Tuesdays with Morrie has 

been licensed for over seventy productions ranging from professional to amateur theaters and has been 

staged in Canada, Europe, and Asia. It is currently being published and distributed by the Dramatists Play 

Service. 

 

Author Mitch Albom has also written the international best-sellers For One More Day and The Five 

People You Meet in Heaven, as well as six other books. He writes screenplays and stage plays, is a nationally 

syndicated columnist for the Detroit Free Press, and is a radio host. Albom serves on numerous charitable boards 

and founded three charities in the Detroit area. He lives in Michigan with his wife, Janine. “I can never put into 

words how humbled I am by all this, and how proud I am for Morrie that his gentle wisdom is settling like a 

snowfall on various streets around the world,” writes Albom in the new edition. “It certainly has made me agree 

with his sentiment: the universe is indeed too grand and harmonious to believe that it is all an accident.”
